Find Your Perfect First Home with Confidence
We invite you to explore our extensive range of affordable home designs right here on our website. For personalised guidance, connect with a Metronest Homes New Home Specialist who can walk you through our stress-free building journey step by step. What truly sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to honesty and complete transparency. This core value means our team provides you with a fixed-price quote with no hidden fees or surprise charges. We believe this open and upfront approach creates a far more enjoyable and trustworthy experience for everyone involved.
Feedback from our clients consistently highlights their appreciation for our transparency—a quality that can be rare in the building industry. Many first home buyers tell us that with other builders, it’s a struggle to get a clear price list or they feel crucial information is withheld. At Metronest Homes, we believe that transparent, upfront pricing should be the standard, and we are proud to lead by example in making your dream of owning your first home a reality.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions for First Home Buyers in Victoria.
What is the First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) in Victoria and how do I know if I'm eligible?
The First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) in Victoria is a government payment designed to help you buy or build your first new home. Eligibility criteria typically include conditions on the property’s value, and you must not have previously owned a home in Australia. Our New Home Specialists are experts on the FHOG and can help you determine your eligibility and guide you through the application process.
Are there other savings available, like stamp duty concessions?
Yes, first home buyers in Victoria may be eligible for significant stamp duty concessions or exemptions, which can save you thousands of dollars. The amount you can save depends on the value of your new home. We can help you understand all the potential savings available to you.
How much deposit do I need for my first home in Victoria?
The deposit required can vary, but most lenders look for between 5% and 20% of the property value. However, various government schemes, like the First Home Guarantee, can allow eligible buyers to purchase a home with a smaller deposit without needing to pay Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI). We can connect you with trusted finance professionals who specialise in first home buyer loans.
What is a fixed-price contract and why is it important for first home buyers?
A fixed-price contract is an agreement that locks in the total cost of your new home before construction begins. This is crucial for first home buyers as it provides certainty and protects you from unexpected price increases. At Metronest Homes, we are committed to providing fixed-price quotes for your peace of mind.
What should be my first step towards building a new home?
A great first step is to get home loan pre-approval. This will give you a clear budget and empower you to move forward with confidence. Once you have an idea of your budget, you can start exploring our affordable home designs and speak with one of our New Home Specialists to begin your journey.
